[GRASS5] [david_finlayson@yahoo.com: Bugreport GRASS 5] Tcl/Tk 8.x

Hi all,

find attached another bug report concenring Tcl/Tk.
The problem of different Tcl/tK versions we have to
fix for the stable release.

a) source code:
I suggest that the "configure" checks for the current
tcl/tk version and writes this to src/CMD/head/head

b) binary code:
   - tcltkgrass and
   - nviz2.2
   require to have an "intelligent" version search engine
   to detect the proper "wish" file >=wish8.0
   
Does anyone have a clever code already available?

Thanks

Markus

#!/bin/sh
# restart this script with wish \
  exec wish $0 "$@"

As for picking an alternate wish, you'd have to embed a shell
script in the tcl code on alternate lines, using the same
continued comment trick. Tcl interprets the second and
third line in that example as a single comment, due to the
line continuation character, '\'. /bin/sh treats it as
one comment line, and one script line. Another option is
having autoconf check for wish, wish8.2, wish8.0, etc. and
generate tcltkgrass from tcltkgrass.in, etc.

Not that any of this helps on Win32.

Hi all,

I have checked in a new startup script for tcltkgrass which searches
for wish8.x in current $PATHs. It seems to be working (at least for
me). Please test on your installation:

cvs update src/tcltkgrass
cd src/tcltkgrass; gmake5

Probably it needs more modifications, actually it is quite simple.

I will do the same for NVIZ.

Yours

Markus
